2. Measures to improve access to education
Below are measures raised by key informants and villagers, especially advise from provincial
director of EYS, during the field visit.
Construct more school and school renovation: Still some urban and remote areas and new
emerged villages have no proper school. We need to construct more school in those areas. In
other hand, some school looks very old and not attracts children to stay in. There are a lot of
suggestion raised by commune chief as well as school principal to renovate the school in better
way such as having garden, specific plot for sporting, and playground etc. This is to ensure high
enrollment rate
Completed school level: each primary and lower secondary school shall have completed level i.e.
level 1 to 6 and level 7 to 9. This is to prevent dropout.
Train local resource to become teacher: Shall have incentive to promote local resource to
become teacher. This is to ensure the availability of teacher at remote area.
Provision of accommodation to teacher: For teachers who are coming from other province to
teach in remote areas should have proper accommodation near by that school. This solution can
help teacher come to teach regularly and well prepared for lesson as well to follow up student at
home. This can help to lower drop out rate.
Scholarship to poor student: This is very important to ensure that poor students are able to
continue for higher education and to ensure equitable education program. However, scholarship
should be sufficient to cover basic need, mainly for food.
Awareness raising: It was suggested by commune chief and office of education that there should
be a regular awareness campaign with villagers. If campaign is conducted through meeting there
shall be some small incentive for them otherwise it is difficult to gather them for the next
meeting.
